Well, I guess this is the worst thing, if I am lucky, that will ever happen to dear minnie mee. I do have some funny stories about it... First of all, I had to deal with three busy bodies, one who told me I should get another vet because this one "killed her cat." (thanks for telling me the day before the operation!) the second person told me, as I was WALKING to the vet with minnie, that he would never get an animal spayed till after they've had a litter... he looked at me as though I was a monster. . . the third person, AFTER she'd been spayed, looked at me as though I was a silly old woman and asked how I expected little minnie mee to get pregnant.. (I figured if he didn't know by now I would leave him in the dark.) I mean I DO walk her in the park and go to an off leash park so yah, she MIGHT just get pregnant! I also told him about the risks of cancer for unspayed animals, but he seemed to think that since dogs are after all animals, they'd have some sort of magic protection against cancer or something... geez.
Minnie was very woozy afterward and seemed a bit in shock... shaking for about an hour. She looked at me almost in fear! (this made me cry.) but she is fine now, eating regularly, peeing... sleeping a lot, licking me again. The incision looks fine, and now I am just waiting for her to poop so all the bad side effects and worry can be past. She DOES have to wear the cone of shame, but I will make her wear it for a week and then put a t-shirt on her... the doctor said 12 days, but this seems extreme... how do I walk her with the cone of shame?! And she is on pain killers for the three baby teeth extraction... over all a nightmare, but finished almost. . . thanks everyone for your support.
